AggieDave 6 #2 November 24, 2007 Not bad for Fran's last game as the coach at TAMU. All in all the bits of the game I caught while working was not a bad game. Atleast now t.u. won't be (most likely) the Big 12 south winner.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #3 November 24, 2007 Coach Fran resigned in the press conference after the game! He definitely doesn't look happy about it, it was obviously a "you resign and it'll keep us from firing you and making you even more of an embarrassment" situation. Oh well, I had hope for him, until the last two seasons. A lot of hope lost and a lot of promises lost in a flurry of illegal insider gambling support and information.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

AggieDave 6 #5 November 24, 2007 Yup. Like I said, I had a lot of hope and I was excited, but all in all I was severely disappointed. He has brought shame and dishonor to a school with a long tradition of trying to do the right thing. On the upside he did have the best recruiting class in the country, so maybe that'll help in the years to come. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Now if they'll just schedule TCU. The best thing to come out of this is that no one will touch Fran with a 10 foot pole.

Beachbum 0 #7 November 24, 2007 Sad thing about it is that he CAN be a good coach ... look at how effective both the offensive and defensive schemes he and his staff had in place for this game were ... and how fired up his players were against a pretty danged good UT team. Makes you wonder what happened to them the REST of the time ... !! All of his other shortcomings/antics aside ... beating UT 2 years in a row when nobody expected a win is an accomplishment. And the REALLY fun thing about it is that my diehard UT neighbor will be totally despondent for at least a week ... As long as you are happy with yourself ... who cares what the rest of the world thinks? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SarahC07 0 #8 November 24, 2007 Yeah, I was at a Texas Exes event in Houston watching the game with a few longhorn friends of mine. The Aggies were few and far between - maybe a dozen of us in the bar. But we had a hell of a time yelling and screaming and the poor longhorns just looked disgusted. It was just fantastic.

Oh he'll find somebody to hire him, maybe not for as much, like say, UTEP for example.
